Pine Nuts?


roxie

Recommended Posts

roxie Contributor

Hey! I ate at Bonefish Grill a few days ago because I love their gluten free menu!! Anyway, I decided to have a salad (which I never do because I'm always suspicious of salad dressings). The salad is clearly marked Gluten Free, and I even asked for a list of ingredients in the salad dressing. It seemed to be gluten free. The salad was very basic, but it did have pine nuts on it. I ended up having SERIOUS D for 2 straight days!!! Has anyone had issues with pine nuts, or could I have possibly been contaminated in some other way. Thanks.

This is just a guess..................I don't know Bonefish but I'd bet the pine nuts were cc'd. I eat them on occasion but then again.........each person is different. Have you had pine nuts before...?

Of course it could be cc with ANYTHING in the meal ;)

Do you normally eat pine nuts without issue?

I'd be more suspicious of the CC coming from preparation in a kitchen with gluten. If a salad is labeled as gluten-free, I have to think that the ingredients are gluten-free. They could be in big legal trouble if the ingredients weren't checked. It's the method of preparation that can vary.

Disclaimer for certain people, but I know of no pine nuts that have gluten added. Doesn't mean there couldn't be CC somewhere, either with the pine nuts or something else, but in my experience -- and this does NOT include every single possibility -- pine nuts should be gluten-free.

The pinenuts they sell at Costco have a CC warning. I can't remember exactly what they could have been CC with, but it was something I couldn't eat so I didn't buy them.

I eat pice nuts all the time, Sweetie, it must be something else.

Are you feeling better? B)

Cross contamination.

Thanks for all the replies. So, I went to Bonefish again, and had the Cobb Salad. It had the same salad dressing as the other one I had, and it had pine nuts as well. No problems!! It must have been a fluke. SO GLAD - becaause it was Fabulous!! It also had jerk chicken and mango in it. It's a GREAT gluten-free choice.

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.

      I found at Disney springs and Disney they have specialist that when told about dietary restrictions they come and talk to you ,explain cross contamination measures tsken and work with you on choices. Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease.  Thier gluten free options are awesome.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.
